Hi and hola! I'm Susan from the USA. I prepare taxes. I'm learning Spanish for a few reasons. I have clients who cannot speak English, and I think it would be scary to know you have to file taxes but not understand the language. I also have family in Ecuador and want to be able to speak easily with new friends in Spanish. I'm looking for other serious learners who are committed to improving language skills.

    I wanna talk English Hola a todos, hoy quiero hablar de una palabra de lo que he estado viendo un montón. La palabra es wanna. Ahora, soy nuevo en todo esto, pero, yo se como hablar in ingles. Ayer, tuve la segunda persona de habla espanola preguntame, "por qué no me has enseñado la palabra wanna?" Como?? Esto hace que me preocupe. En ingles, no usamos la palabra wanna. Mi esposo y yo hablamos anoche, y decidimos quien usa esta palabra. Así que, acqí es... 1. En estados unidos, los raperos usan esta palabra. Ponga la palabra wanna en google, y puede ver muchas canciones con esta palabra en el título. 2. Los bebés, cuando están aprendiendo a hablar. Como, I don´t wanna go to bed! 3. Los adolescentes. Pero, sabemos que no queremos sonar como un adolescente, ja ja. 4. Las personas sin educación. Para terminar, si alguien le dice que decir wanna, no hacerlo! A menos que quiere sonar como un rapero, un bebé, o una persona sin educación. Para mi, cuando practico español, quiero aprender Buenos hábitos.

    What happens in your brain when you learn a second language? :)

    Well, i just have had read an article on "muyinteresante.com" about the advantages of learning a second lenguage and how your brain changes and I want to share this. For me, that was amazing. Romero (author of the article) said that the psychology school of Kent (UK) has conducted a study of 3 groups of volunteers (1 group of bilingual people, 1 group of not bilingual but knowing of two languages and 1 group of monolingual people). The first 2 groups had the same degree of myelination of axons, which means a better integrity in the white matter of the brain, providing greater efficiency in the transmission of information or knowledge. These findings weren't repeated in the group of monolingual people. That's amazing!! But even more amazing is this another notice that(in the same article), this these results can be there remain, even into adulthood without a permanent use of the new language. So, learning another language from an early age and old age whether early in life or later on, provides the same structural changes in the white matter of the brain!

    Imagine how helpfull  helpful could this be  this could be for all of those old people that doesn't wanna  who don't want to lose their superior functions, they can do this and retard problems like multiple sclerosis or cognitive impairment by age (i mean, not like rehab or a cure for those problems actually, but this could help them, as far as I can see)

    And well, you know what they say, If you don't use it, you lose it. :)
